Chevening accepting scholarship applications
Play
Chevening, the prestigious global scholarship programme of the UK government, is now open for applications.
The programme, which is funded by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office and partner organisations, operates in 118 countries and this year will support over 600 established or emerging leaders.
Awards are typically for a one-year master’s degree in any subject and at any of the UK’s leading universities.
The programme aims to support the UK’s foreign policy priorities by creating lasting relationships with future leaders, influencers and decision-makers around the world.
Scholars are personally selected by British embassies and High Commissions throughout the world, sometimes with sponsoring organisations.
Chevening alumni have an excellent record of rising to positions of leadership across a wide range of fields from politics, business, the media and civil society to religion and academia.
Some work as MPs, leading journalists or policy advisers to NGOs and think tanks. Others occupy senior posts in commercial organisations.
Applications must be submitted online at www.chevening.org.
Applicants should read the online guidance and demonstrate how they meet the Chevening selection criteria before submitting an application.
Details of closing dates and priority subject areas, which vary from country to country, are available on the country pages of www.chevening.org.
